Jeremy Shockey

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that we don't need to bring in another TE I just don't want it to be Shockey. I think this team has done alot better as a group the last 2 seasons without having to worry about Shockey's antics. Everyone also has to admit that Shockey is a big injury risk and we already are relying on one big injury risk in Deuce.

Signing Shockey has huge upside but the downside is somewhere I don't want to go.

Why does he want to get out of New York again? He wasn't receiving enough ball time, oh yeah that's right he was on the bench for the Superbowl run last year. Now what's the problem again?

I think you represent both sides of the argument over the last 4,000 pages of this thread Cher, but I think that Shockey is right now where Randy Moss was a few years ago - Looking for a QB that he believes in. Look at Randy's attitude and stats once he hooked up with Brady. The Randy of old!!

I believe that Shockey is looking for the same leadership in Payton and Brees. Why couldn't he come in and be happy? Sure...many disagree here. But was Eli considered anywhere near Brady or even Brees's level until AFTER the Superbowl???
